Hi. I am starting to re-wire my home and I was wondering how other people have gone about dealing with existing boxes.
Do you re-use the existing box and make a hole near it to stick your hand in and fit the wires into the existing box?
Do you rip out the old box and put a new one in the existing hole?
Do you just move the fixture slightly and patch over the old box ( after making sure the wires are capped off properly).
Just a note, all the old wires will be disconnected at the panel.
Thanks
Kevin
